Wow! Why do you hate Tesla so much. Yes it is all innovative. They were able to remove 3.5 miles of wire. The change to Ethernet was necessary to get FSD advances because of latencies using CAN. They reduced all the ECUs to 4 regional ones making all the wire funds shorter. There are videos out there that detail the changes and the advantages and I suggest you watch them.

We were discussing proposed 42 volt automotive electircal systems on this list about 30 years ago. Maybe someone else will remember why it didn't catch on back then. The advantages of higher voltage have been clear for a long time. That's why the automakers raised system voltage from 6 to 12 volts in the 1950s. > or drive by wire steering I don't see the advantage, and lots of safety downsides, but you can try to convince me. > or never rust super strong SS body Stainless steel auto bodies are nothing new. Ford experimented with SS as early as the 1930s.. Don't forget the Delorean in 1981. SS is kind of a lousy material for auto bodies. It's too rigid to make proper crumple zones, and it's the devil to form. From what I've read, the CT is made of it not because it has significant advantages, but because Elon Musk thought it would look cool and edgy. An advanced EV body won't be made of stainless steel.
